6pm cst in East Texas and 102f - No rain for the past 2+ months straight. Good news is I don't need to cut the grass.
Anyhow...my point is every year he seems to lower the AC a bit and raise the heat...
Winter showed up yesterday. We had about 3 inches of snow and the temperature was zero this morning. On Tuesday and Wednesday I was painting the outside of the doors on my house. Glad the siding job was completed on Tuesday! I'm in pretty good shape for this winter weather.
How is that soapstone stove working out?
The stove works great! The vented attic and lack of insulation not so good. It takes an hour and a half to get the stove up to a steady temperature of about 500 to 600 degrees on the outside top of the stove. After that, it works very nicely. It is designed to run continually, but I won't start doing that until I at least get the ridge vents and soffit vents blocked. Once the house is insulated and the ceilings are in, it should be very toasty.

your temps are only a few drgrees cooler than we like our hot tub, usually set at 108F. It really feels really good when outdoor temps hover around 10 to 15F. And yes the tub is outside, we walk to it in birthday suits.
Today's high was 65F for an hour or so.
Depressing day here. Started out okay, 60° F but dropping 30° tonight. Plus, tomorrow is more rain and some sleet, maybe flurries. Thick cloud cover, really gloomy-looking outside. Winter is here.

Their posts were in August.
Hot tubs are, well, hot, but I was feeling sorry for anyone still suffering from triple-digit weather this late in the year.Yes, even in the summertime our hot tub is heated to that temp for when we want to use it, though our highs rareley go past 92F.
That storm next week is even supposed to affect us down here in New Orleans! See forecast image below. Luckily our winters here are not bad and we look forward to cooler weather after the miserable heat we usually have during August and September here.We missed out on the last snow storm but I knew it couldn't last. I am very glad I no longer have to go to work in cold like this.
